So my plan to resume training on Wednesday morning didn’t quite pan out as I had hoped because apparently somebody decided Tuesday night was the most opportune time to blast insanely loud thrashing death metal music outside my window. Now, I could go on and blame this person for waking me up, causing me to have mild…
It’s been a week, actually six days to be exact, since I completed 50 miles and while I’d like to say recovery has been easy breezy and I’ve already started running again (YAY!), unfortunately that hasn’t been the case (BOOO!).

We’re four days into the New Year and I knew it, time would fly by! One thing I’m trying to get better at this year, because I certainly didn’t do it last year based on the amount of times I couldn’t remember if I locked the door or not, is being more present. “Days Go…
As I was thinking about the final Music Monday song choice of 2015, I had quite a few to select from. However, questions kept popping up in my head. Do I go with a song that will wonderfully reflect the year? Do I choose a popular song all the kids are running to? Do I…
